Bookkeeping Services in Columbus, OH
Most owners spend under half an hour a month on this once it is running — a forwarded receipt, an answer about an odd transaction, and nothing else.
- A short written note on what moved and why
- Transactions coded as they land, not in a year-end rush
- A second reviewer before anything reaches you
Retail brands, fulfilment operations and e-commerce businesses make up much of the local work. Their defining bookkeeping problem is that the sales data and the bank never agree on their own, because the money arrives net of fees, in batches, days after the sale it relates to.
What our service covers in Columbus
Everything below is part of the engagement — no surprise add-ons.
A/R and A/P management
We track what you owe and are owed, and flag invoices drifting past terms before a cash-flow problem shows up in your balance.
Software cost review
Subscriptions accumulate quietly. We surface what is being charged and let you decide what is still earning its place.
Bank feed management
Feeds connected read-only and the rules reviewed as they age, because a rule written a year ago quietly miscodes for months once a supplier changes.
Onboarding handover
Roughly a week to connect feeds, build or clean the chart of accounts and agree what belongs in your monthly pack.
Payroll journal entries
Wages, taxes and employer costs posted from your payroll provider each run, so the profit figure carries the true cost of employment.
What happens after you get in touch
Only the first step needs anything from you.
Tell us where things stand
A 20-minute call covering your transaction volume, how many accounts are in play and how far behind (if at all) things are. You get a flat monthly rate on that call.
We take over the file
Read-only feeds get connected, the chart of accounts is built or cleaned up, and we agree what belongs in your monthly pack. Roughly a week end to end.
It just runs
Transactions are categorized as they arrive, accounts reconcile monthly, and your reports land by the 10th. When something needs a decision, your bookkeeper calls you.
Why Columbus businesses choose Feather Accounting
This is a good fit if…
- You want a predictable monthly cost rather than an hourly bill
- You are ready to hand the books over entirely
- You are spending evenings on the books instead of the business
- You would rather pay a flat rate than watch an hourly meter
Making the platforms agree with the bank
A marketplace deposits a single figure covering many orders, minus its commission, minus shipping, minus refunds, with a lag. Booking that deposit as revenue understates both sales and costs, and the resulting margin is fiction.
We reconcile the platform settlement back to gross sales and record the fees as the costs they are, so revenue is what customers actually paid and the platform's cut appears as an expense you can see and question.
For businesses selling across several channels, that reconciliation is the monthly close. Everything else is straightforward by comparison.
Questions about this service
Anything we have not covered, ask on the call — it is free and there is no follow-up sequence.
Yes. We check the opening position rather than assuming the prior months were right, and tell you if a catch-up or cleanup is needed first.
